Description

What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

Please add the ability to search the Codex plugin catalog by a plugin’s developer or publisher name.

Sometimes I know who makes a plugin, but I don’t know the plugin’s name. I also want to discover other plugins from the same developer without opening each listing individually.

For example, searching “OpenAI” should return plugins whose developer/publisher is OpenAI, including plugins that do not contain “OpenAI” in their title.

Suggested behavior:

  • Include developer/publisher names in the existing plugin search.
  • Support case-insensitive and partial-name matching.
  • Show the developer/publisher name in search results so users can understand the match.

A clickable developer name that shows their other plugins would also be useful, but searching by developer name is the main request.

Additional information

Related but distinct: #30096 reports incorrect grouping in a developer-specific tab, and #33269 requests agent-driven marketplace discovery. This request concerns matching developer/publisher names in the App’s existing plugin catalog search.

Research direction

Start by locating the App's existing plugin catalog search and the code that renders its results. Check how developer or publisher metadata is represented, then verify case-insensitive partial matching and that the matching name appears in results; the main search behavior should work for names such as “OpenAI” even when they are absent from plugin titles.
